Its Ridiculous!!!

"Please continue to put out your refuse on your current day until your new collection starts on Friday 12th November."

Yep, that's what mine says too. My current day is Friday, so will they or won't they collect refuse tomorrow (Friday 5th)??

Our "normal" collection should have been today.....bag still waiting, so who knows?. There is an article in the times regarding the amount of telephone calls, 3500 calls as opposed to the usual 500 (from all areas)....that tells me the information is misleading.

On the black bin, it says that the first collection of the black bin is 12th December. As the non-recycleable waste is now on a 2 week collection, last Friday was our last day for the blue bin bags. I put a tesco bag of clutter into the black bin ready for next week.

It's all on the sheet that was sent out with what is being collected each Friday. Tomorrow is Green & Blue bins for me.

Oh my god, you people really need to get a life. And also read your instructions properly. Yes the black bin states first collection is 12th November. However, the leaflet clearly states that you will have a Green Bin and a Blue bin collection on 5th November ie food waste, garden waste and paper. It is as plain as day if you take the time to actually read what they have given you.

My 85 year old grandmother understood it so not sure why other people can't.

Is your idea of getting a life studying council leaflets then ?
Carry on as normal till the 12th! It didn't say there won't be a normal collection on the 2nd though did it clever clogs

No not clever, just interested enought to take 5 minutes to read what the council sent us.

I dont live on Vale Close, we have a communal dump on Overton Cres as well.... I was lucky enough not to have bought the house where we all dumped our bin bags, Ive lived there for 22 years and weve always done it. What I cant beleive is that this morning we saw a neighbour actually go out and add another bag to the heap instead of using the black wheelie bin?!?!?!?
How hilarious if I get back from work and they havent been to empty the blue and green Ive left out!
It will become apparant though when I drive up the road and see theyve been left in the middle of my drive again!!!!
